February 2023 Summarized
- Major arrivals were Byadgi / KDL, Syngentha 5531, Syngentha 2043 and Devanur Deluxe(DD).
- Compared with last year, arrivals is 40 % less but last year we had 20% of arrivals of white colour(very low medium), this year its just 2%.
- This year total arrivals of colour medium and top quality is 30% less than last year.
- February last week Byadgi / KDL price was 48,000 and Syngentha 5531 was 22,000. Prices from 1st week of February to last week saw increase of 20% for Syngentha 5531 and for Byadgi / KDL saw a rise of 15%.
- Compared with last year, Bellary crop is delayed by 4-6 weeks. This delay is because of 1 month late sowing and another 2 weeks due to good climatic condition where 2nd picking new leaves have grown fastly, hence farmer will pick both 1st and 2nd picking at once.
- February month weather was good for crop, Bellary and Raichur area crops are performing exceptionally well. Climatic condition is ideal with high cold at night and hot in afternoon.
- Our data tells us to compare 2022-23 with 2020-21 and not with 2021-22, as in 2021-22 their was complete washout of bellary area.
- For this year we can expect a long season with arrivals till end of April against last year’s march 3rd week.
